1 Product Precautions
Do not give shock to the camera.
Do not haul or damage the camera cable.
Do not wrap the camera with any material while using the camera. This will cause the internal camera
temperature to increase.
When the camera moving or using the place that temperature difference is extreme, countermeasure for dew
condensation (heat removal / cold removal) is necessary.
While the camera is not using, keep the lens cap on the camera to prevent dust or contamination from getting
in the sensor or filter and scratching or damaging it.
Do not keep the camera under the following conditions.
In wet, moist, high humidity or dusty place
Under direct sunlight
In extreme high or low temperature place
Near an object that releases a strong magnetic or electric filed
Place with strong vibrations
Apply the power that satisfies the specified in specifications for the camera.
The defective pixels may appear due to the sensor characteristics.
Use below recommend materials (or equivalent materials) to clean the surface of glass.
Air dust: Non Freon air duster (NAKABAYASHI Co., LTD.)
Alcohol: Propan-2-ol (SAN’EI KAKO Co., LTD.)
Non-woven: nikowipe clean room (NKB)
Use a soft cloth to clean the camera.
2 Warranty
■Warranty period

8.2 Pulse width trigger mode
The camera exposure starts by trigger signal.
In this trigger mode with positive trigger polarity, camera exposure starts at rising edge of trigger signal and stops
at falling edge of trigger signal. The exposure time is active pulse duration (high state) of trigger signal.
In this trigger mode with negative trigger polarity, camera exposure starts at falling edge of trigger signal and stops
at rising edge of trigger signal. The exposure time is active pulse duration (low state) of trigger signal.
The exposure start will be delay about 22.1 μseconds by filtering system on camera.
